Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 211

It wasn't that Adrian was completely out of options.

But in the end, he only saw to it that Oliver got inside the property before immediately flying back to his own country.

Julian was squatting by the villa's entrance, holding his phone to his ear with one hand, listening to a report. In his other hand, he casually held a cigarette. As the white smoke curled into the air, he watched the little ungrateful brat in front of him.

"Get me a new team."

"Mr. Reed, it doesn't matter how many teams you change. The result will be the same."

Julian narrowed his charming almond-shaped eyes. The sun was bright today, and his purple hair reflected the light, making it particularly striking.

It also made his skin look deathly pale.

A rare coldness and hostility flickered in his eyes.

"You're not afraid I'll toss you in the ocean to feed the sharks?" After hanging up, Julian said with a cold face, "Your father isn't here. No one can protect you now."

Oliver sensed that Julian was not a good person and felt a little scared.

But since his father had left him here alone, he figured he would be fine.

Besides, he didn't believe his mother would just stand by and watch him get bullied.

"I want to see my mother!"

"Selena isn't here."

Oliver shouted, "I'm talking about Isabel!"

Julian's expression grew even colder. "Isabel is dead."

The bodyguards standing nearby didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Who would have thought?

A menace like Julian was actually arguing childishly with a little kid.

Isabel was oblivious to what was happening at the villa's entrance.

After breakfast, she took Edmund to the lab.

More accurately, Edmund had insisted on following her.

Last night, if Julian hadn't taken him away, he would have tried to sleep with her.

He was getting too clingy.

Evelyn, however, adored Edmund and even fed him fruit.

He could even hold a test tube with a steady hand.

Even if he couldn't develop any groundbreaking drugs yet, he was already better than most adult novices.

"Damn, Mr. Reed wasn't lying. This kid is a natural-born genius."

Evelyn's fondness for Edmund grew even more. She said to Isabel, "If you don't want him, let him be my son. I can afford to raise him."

"Auntie Evelyn," Edmund hesitated, but finally spoke the truth. "I like you very much, but an auntie can only be an auntie. I only have one mommy, and that's Isabel. I'm sorry."

"What's there to apologize for?" Evelyn was just teasing. It was obvious Julian had brought this child specifically for Isabel.

"I was just kidding. Don't take it to heart."

Isabel scratched her cheek and paused for a long time before finally asking, "Who taught you all this?"

Edmund hesitated. "Daddy said... I can't say..."

Isabel remembered Julian's instructions and said, "Then don't."

She walked over to him. "From now on, I'll teach you. If anyone asks, you just tell them I'm your mommy, and that I taught you everything."

"Okay, okay!" Edmund nodded his head so vigorously it was like a woodpecker pecking at a tree. "Mommy, I like you very much."
